  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of Exposure Management practices through process optimisation, automation and the development of new analytical capabilities.
  • Support the design and implementation of operational workflows, controls and governance processes for the APAC Exposure Management function.
  • Assist the Head of Exposure Management in building and developing a high-performing Exposure Management team to support future regional growth.
  • Develop innovative analytical solutions to help underwriting teams better understand, quantify and manage catastrophe risk.
  • Assess and monitor exposures throughout the underwriting lifecycle, from data receipt and validation through to modelling, analysis and reporting.
  • Support post-event analytics and loss estimation activities for both natural and non-natural catastrophe events.
  • Assist in the validation, benchmarking and review of third-party catastrophe models and associated modelling assumptions.
  • Collaborate effectively with stakeholders across multiple functions, geographies and time zones to support the successful establishment and ongoing operation of the APAC Exposure Management capability.

Your Profile

  • 2+ years' experience in a catastrophe risk, exposure management, actuarial or related analytical role.
  • Highly adaptable and comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment, with the ability to take ownership, establish new processes and contribute to the development of a growing function.
  • Strong analytical and data manipulation skills, with the ability to interpret and communicate complex datasets and modelling results.
  • Experience with catastrophe modelling platforms, preferably Moody's RMS solutions, including RiskLink, Risk Modeller, IRP, UWIQ and/or EIQ.
  • Experience with alternative catastrophe modelling platforms would be advantageous.
  • Familiarity with APRA reporting requirements and catastrophe risk management frameworks is desirable.
  • Experience supporting catastrophe event response activities, hazard monitoring and post-event reporting.
